Chen Xixi withdrew her gaze and turned to continue listening to the wealthy lady speak.
Zhen Mei Qiu: "My best friendâs daughter is a bit fragile, and she doesnât want to work in the hospital anymore. She wants to enter the entertainment industry, and I was hoping you could look after her."
Chen Xixi honestly replied: "Iâm also new to the industry and donât have much of a background. It might be difficult for me to take care of her, especially if she is fragile... The entertainment industry might be too tough for her."
Zhen Mei Qiu was displeased: "Who says you have no background! Aunt Zhen and Jinyuan are your backing! Anyone who dares to bully you is going against the Zhou Family!"
"Wouldnât it suffice if your best friendâs daughter had your support?"
Zhen Mei Qiu said earnestly, "The key is that you girls will definitely get along better than we do. If she ever feels wronged, just take the trouble to comfort her, and then tell Aunt Zhen to handle it."
The next second, Chen Xixi received a transfer from the dear wealthy lady.
Five million.
Suddenly, Chen Xixiâs gaze hardened as she looked at Zhen Mei Qiu: "Weâre all family here, so letâs not mince words. Rest assured, I absolutely wonât let her suffer even a bit of grievance under my care!"
At this moment, Zhou Jinyuan lifted his eyelids, his gaze landing on Zhen Mei Qiu, his tone cool: "She has her own matters, pick someone else for your arrangements."
Zhen Mei Qiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Jinyuan: "You donât understand, donât interrupt."
Chen Xixi didnât mind, not reacting as strongly as Zhou Jinyuan. Looking after someone wasnât a big deal, and her new company was short on staff anyway. With Aunt Zhenâs words, she could confidently sign someone on, knowing there was a fallback with Aunt Zhen.
Getting off the plane, Chen Xixi wore sunglasses and a mask, thoroughly covered, waiting in the underground parking lot for Zhou Jinyuan and Zhen Mei Qiu.
Chen Xixi is now a minor celebrity and has to guard against paparazzi.
Walking through the VIP corridor, Zhou Jinyuan glanced at Zhen Mei Qiu: "Donât try to manipulate her."
Zhen Mei Qiu adjusted the edge of her glasses, "Iâm spending so much money on her, whatâs wrong with making some plans?"
Zhou Jinyuan stopped, turned around to face Zhen Mei Qiu, and said seriously: "If youâre trying to introduce her to your best friendâs daughter to meet me, then I advise you to give up that idea right now."
Zhen Mei Qiu paused too, took off her sunglasses, and met Zhou Jinyuanâs gaze: "What if I insist on having Chen Xixi introduce her to you? Currently, only Chen Xixi can get close to you. Iâll have her bring a few girls to meet you, sort of like treating an illness, is there a problem with that? Besides, with so many girls out there, how would you know Chen Xixi is the most suitable for you without meeting the others?"
Zhou Jinyuan, hands in his pockets and blunt, affirmed: "Anyone but her, doesnât work for me."
Zhen Mei Qiu was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing: "Truly my son, exactly like how I was fixated on your father! Do you think Iâm an old antique? What era is this to forbid free love? Besides, our family is so wealthy, itâs all to ensure you and my grandson donât suffer, not to ruin your happiness!"
Zhou Jinyuan: "What were those things you just said..."
"Itâs just me testing your determination for that girl! If you had easily compromised, then it means youâre not particularly fixated on her, not truly sincere, then donât waste the young ladyâs time! Such a nice girl, I canât bear to see her hurt!"
Zhou Jinyuan: "..."
Ms. Zhen sure shifts her stance quickly, heâs not only less influential than Ms. Zhen in front of Chen Xixi, but even less so than Chen Xixi in front of Ms. Zhen.
Dramatic decline in familial status.
Zhen Mei Qiu continued to instruct: "If things really progress, youâd better treat her well, if you wrong her, Iâd have nowhere to put this old face of mine. There hasnât been a single scandal in our family for generations, a decent family, donât tarnish it with your actions!"
Zhou Jinyuan, with a slight smile, said: "Understood, donât worry."
Zhen Mei Qiu glared at Zhou Jinyuan: "With your good looks, what is there for me to worry about! Just stop courting attention outside, otherwise, Iâll have Chen Xixi quickly give me a healthy grandson, and just kick you out of the Zhou Family!"
"..."
It seems heâs becoming an outsider in the Zhou Family.
But no matter, he could always go to the Chen Family. Chen Xixiâs father practically treats him like his own son, almost added him to their household register just a few days ago.
...
After dinner, they arrived at the hotel at 7:30 PM.
Originally, Zhou Jinyuan had planned for Assistant Xu to book the hotel, but Zhen Mei Qiu said she had already booked it, so Zhou Jinyuan didnât ask Assistant Xu to do so.
The hotel manager came over and exchanged a glance with Zhen Mei Qiu, then immediately spoke with a face full of apologies, "Our hotel has only two rooms left now."
Zhen Mei Qiu quickly tapped her head, looking annoyed, "Look at my memory! Itâs just not the same when you get older! I thought I had booked the rooms, but I just remembered, I think I forgot to book! What should we do?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Xixi spoke up, "Aunt, we can stay in one room then."
Zhen Mei Qiu hastily objected, "No way! I donât like sharing a room with someone else."
"Then you and uncle..."
"Heâs my husband, itâs different! Anyway, I need a room for myself, and I just like this hotel, changing to another wonât do! You all have to stay here with me!"
After saying this, Ms. Zhen immediately and expertly found the elevator and left.
"..." Watching Ms. Zhenâs fleeing figure, Chen Xixi couldnât help but say, "I seriously suspect that your mom has booked all the other rooms."
After all, if she could do something as outrageous as flying a plane to get a free kilogram of eggs, what couldnât she do?
Zhou Jinyuan turned his head to Chen Xixi, "Shall we change hotels?"
Hotel Manager: "Changing hotels now would also be fully booked, you shouldnât waste your time."
Because the rich and scheming Ms. Zhen had already notified the nearby business hotels.
All the owners of these hotels in the vicinity were her husbandâs fishing buddies; it was just a phone call away.
For her sonâs love life, this old mother was truly breaking her heart!
Mainly because her son was moving too slowly; after spending so much money and creating so many opportunities for her son, there was still no sign of anything, and she was almost driven mad!
If it still doesnât work out, she decided to give her son a scornful look for a whole month!
Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan were forced to stay in the room arranged by Ms. Zhen.
Chen Xixi looked at the only luxurious large bed in the room with a serious expression.
They had stayed together before, but this time it was different; this time they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Suddenly, Zhou Jinyuanâs teasing voice came from behind her, "Does the intern get extra points for sleeping on the floor tonight?"
Chen Xixi turned her head to look at Zhou Jinyuan, the corners of her mouth slightly curving, "Of course."
"Good, then you go take a shower first."
"You first."
"Fine."
As Zhou Jinyuanâs words fell, Chen Xixi unconsciously turned her head to look and saw that the bathroom door in the room was frosted glass.
Her cheeks blushing, she didnât turn her body or head but quickly raised her hand to cover her eyes.
The next second, the middle finger and ring finger slowly opened a small gap.
Sneaking a peek at her own boyfriend shouldnât be illegal, right?
She just wanted to quietly check out how her boyfriendâs physique was, as the feel of his muscles last time was indeed very good. She just wanted to see if he had abs or anything like that; if he did, she could give him some extra points!
